The Democrats Must Absolutely Hate Having to Give Up on This

‘On The Verge Of Being Unstoppable’: Democratic Governors Association Abandons Florida 2022 To DeSantis, Report Says | The Daily Wire

They really hate him. Giving up on Florida in 2022 must be causing them to tear their hair out. And while 3 years is an eternity in politics, particularly in the 21st century, this signals that they’ve likely given up on Florida in 2024 as well, particularly if DeSantis is the Republican nominee.

Florida GOP Governor Ron DeSantis, who won a razor-thin 40,000 vote victory against Democrat Andrew Gillum in 2018, has now become such a formidable political leader that the Democratic Governors Association will not give any significant financial aid to any Democrat opposing his reelection in 2022, according to a report in Politico.

Ouch.

“The perception that DeSantis is unbeatable has left national Democratic groups like the DGA to weigh whether they should spend resources in Florida, a hugely expensive state with 10 media markets, or use that cash to help incumbents in cheaper states,” Politico added.

He is a force, to be sure. An unstoppable one? Time will tell.
